Not sure why you are concluding this was a mistake.

Of course your wife says she doesn't love you. She doesn't. It's all about the love bank, flames. Eliminate the love bank withdrawals, build habits that make massive love bank deposits, and she will love you again. Don't try to short circuit that by trying to get her to profess love for you before she feels it.

CALM DOWN.

Angry men have got to calm down, flames. No matter what. It's rule number one.

Don't be a drama queen. wink

Just work this program, because it will work to turn your wife's feelings around.

Coming unglued when your wife tells you her honest feelings for you is the opposite of working this problem.

You have a problem. The problem is your wife doesn't love you. Solve the problem. Stay calm and solve the problem.

Oh, and stick to one thread.

This is not a new development. You already knew she didn't love you.

flames, problems can't be solved unless you remain calm.

I've described above how to solve the problem. I've solved the very same problem.

You can do this if you calm down.

When you are angry you can be sure that you are pushing her away.

I'm not angry I haven't been angry for 3 weeks I been learning to control it little by little, learning my limits , but I am worried and scare to talk to her I don't want to do anymore withdrawal and also let me add this right now my oldest daughter told me on our way to her softball game that her grandma my wife's mom told her that I'm a mean person ,that I always make mommy cry and call her names and yield at her , I believe that was not nice of her to say that to my daughter ? How do I deal with that without withdrawal ?

flames55, I would handle that by agreeing. "Yes, I have been mean and have hurt mommy's feelings a lot and made her cry and yelled at her. I am working to learn how to never do that again, no matter what happens."

flames, Dr. Harley recommends that each spouse talk to their own family on behalf of the marriage. You need to reconcile with your wife first and learn to negotiate solutions you are both enthusiastic about.

You can't control what other people say, so stop trying. This just leads to fights.

And in this case, nothing about what your mother in law said to your daughter needs to be rephrased, because it's all true, right?

You've got instincts that lead you to want to control what other people say and think. Learn to let them have their opinions, even if their opinions bother you greatly.

You've also got instincts to want to control or "spin" the truth that comes out. To keep stuff secret. Learn to override those instincts. Letting people freely express their negative opinions of you is healthier. You can change those opinions by following this plan and winning your wife back.

so last night i got in on our home computer which i havent used in a while ,looking for apartment to live in ,so my daughter comes in with her ipad tells me to download some game apps so i plug the ipad in and it downloads ,so i started checking what photos and videos she had in ....and i saw pictures of my wife with other man ,she's cheating on me i guess i have to thank someone for icloud in iphones ,i guess she forgot that when ever she takes pics or videos it automatically downloads in to the icloud . So i deleted the pics and saved them om my phone because i don't want my kids to see that ,so i confronted her in a calm way we first talked about what the plan is going to be with the kids ,and i slowly merge the ,how long has this been going on, she told me 2 weeks but is more then that OH and his a coworker.and his also married with one kid ,but is been more then a month and that's where the hotel card key came from because there a picture of them in the hotel room and there's more so i'm going to stop trying to fix our relationship and just focus on my kids ,she also got really angry OMG never seen her like that before but i think she was acting like that because she got caught

What you do now is stop crying and get to work on killing this affair. WE can help you save your marriage. The plan of attack is completely different from what you have been doing. Please go read my exposure thread and come back and lets talk.

You find his facebook page. You find his wife and you expose to her. You will also expose the affair to the workplace authorities.

Gather up all your exposure targets and start collecting email addresses to get ready for exposure.

Did you read the thread?

Go find all this contact information and plan to expose all on the same day.
